Overview:
The Base Protector for Makita laminate trimmers is a clear, durable shield that fits the Makita 3707F and 3707FC. It is designed to protect the trimmer's base and the work surface while maintaining full visibility of the cutting area.

By preserving the flatness and condition of the trimmer's base, this protector supports accurate trimming and clean finishes on edges and cut-outs commonly found in kitchen worktops, cabinetry, and joinery projects.
